Change Of Heart (To Heart)

I have a melancholic temperament, and I use humor, the arts and intellectualizing to keep myself from getting too far into the Blue Zone. Those are all good coping mechanisms with very positive implications for my life, but sometimes they’re avoidance techniques. For instance, I realize now that I’ve been repressing how depressed the whole Sarah Palin thing has made me, and I have to thank Elizabeth for making me aware of that. It is so my style to try to analyze, understand, find the archetypes that are being activated for people when they hook into a public figure, but here Elizabeth speaks from the heart and centers me more in my own:

Yea. It hurts.
I wish I wasn’t so painfully aware of that right now, but there it is.
Nothing clever to say. I am monumentally bummed out.
